To enlighten the masses

So ylbissop and myself were sitting down to some good ole fashioned laziness and TV since the last few weeks have been hectic beyond belief.

We perused the channels and found Who Wants to be a Superhero? with the wonderful (but I feel misguided) Stan Lee. We are a little late in the game since we missed the first couple of episodes, of which I think we caught the very end of the second. So we enjoyed the beginning with the dog challenge and ylbissop cheered on Monkey Woman to keep getting chowed on while desperately crawling her way to the backdoor. We were happy to see that the valley-girl-esque CellPhone girl was kicked off after that. Then new costumes were created for each of the remaining people and Stan Lee decided to do another elimination since he's God and he knows and sees all. He picks his three possible people and they go to commercial (or to Cartoon as I said since they would turn everything into comicbook-esque colorings before each commercial). ylbissop starts spouting out how Iron Enforcer (who is an obvious rip-off with a steel arm and a gun in said arm with no shirt and black pants) could be kicked off but there's a problem with it because he's the loose gun so to speak. And he just went on to say that they may keep him just to prevent him from turning into a Supervillian. I of course look at ylbissop with the same "I'm amazed at how much of a geek you are" look that I give whenever he does such things. Then I said he totally went up 10 levels of geekiness in just those short seconds of rantage.

We return from commercial and Stan Lee gives his decision. Its Iron Enforcer who has to leave. The explanations involve his ability to piss off the rest of the superheroes and the fact that he has a gun attached to himself. So Iron Enforcer removes parts of his costume to be destroyed in a trash can and walks out of the lair with his suitcase in toll. As he's walking away, Stan Lee appears on a TV in the middle of some garbage (because again Stan Lee is God) and tells Iron Enforcer that there was just something else off about his costume makeover and he has figured it out. He decides to make Iron Enforcer into....drum roll please....a Super Villian. Yes, that's right folks. I believe ylbissop has earned his geeky trophy of excellence by this strong showing of understanding Stan Lee.

So there it is. If anyone can give a more extreme example of how geeky they are to top this one off, please share.
